6 years of evil medical school doesn't qualify as professional credentials? Also I'd put Dr. Phil below most of these guys, although maybe slightly above Hannibal Lector still.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 day ago

I trust Doctor Pepper more than Phil.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

Yeah Phil goes down and to the left. I’d say oz goes down a little bit too, but I’m glad the maker of this meme still put those guys in the right section.

Dr. Robotnik is more trustworthy than Phil tbh, but I suppose context matters.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 20 hours ago

He'll amputate your limbs but replace them with fairly functional robot parts?

[–] blockheadjt 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Phil is less likely to outright kill you himself.

Some unsolicited comments on this:

  • I would absolutely trade Dr. Bunsen Honeydew with Dr. Mario.
  • The Dr. Pepper position is just pure slander.
  • Dr. Horrible and Doogie Howser, MD is the true duality of humanity.
  • Zoidberg is suspiciously much higher along the Y-axis than I would personally prefer.
  • Dr. Dre, like I would forget, is absolutely a quadrant II candidate. There's just no way I'd put Spin Doctors high along the Y-axis than Dre.

Dr. Strange is a fully trained surgeon. He should be farther to the right!

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not just fully trained, but at the top of his field and possessing an MD and a PhD! He should be at the far right edge!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

But he also refused a lot of patients because he really only wanted "sure things" and not something that might damage his reputation.

Also... I think he brought some mother fuckers back from the dead. And he helped reverse the snap.

That sounds like he's probably got a solid defense against any complaints made to the state board.

How are Oz and Phil so high on this spectrum?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They haven't eaten human liver or tried pan frying a piece of someone's brain .... but they're still a couple of idiots that shouldn't be trusted for medical advice

[–] ThanksObama 13 points 1 day ago

They may not be cannibals, but I wouldn't put it past them to have devoured a number of souls....

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

Wait, Robotnik has a medical degree?!

[–] vaultdweller013 3 points 17 hours ago

No he has a doctorate in mechanical engineering and a masters in cloning. I dont know if this is true but it fits.

Isn’t/wasn’t Dr. Strange a surgeon?

For reference on the no training side:

Dr. Dre and Dr. Venture: Both possess honorary doctorates. The former from UCLA, the latter from a Tijuana community college.
Dr. Pepper: Charles T. Pepper did have a medical doctorate. He is cited as a possible source of the name.
Dr. Evil: Evil medical school.
Zoidberg: Claims he lost it in a volcano, more likely a art history degree.
Dr. Horrible: Likely physics though he claims Horribleness (though it could be a catchphrase.)
Dr. Seuss: Intended to get a Doctorate of Philosophy, got an honorary doctorate of Humane Letters.
The Doctor: Per This - While pretending to be the Doctor in an effort to save herself from an army of Cybermen, one of the planet’s deadliest enemies, in Death in Heaven, Clara said: ‘I don’t even really have a doctorate. Well Glasgow University, but then I accidentally graduated in the wrong century.’
Doc: Does become a doctor at Storybrooke hospital in a live action show, "Once Upon a Time", apparently not a surgeon though.
Spin Doctors: No doctors.

I feel like a fair amount of those on the trained side aren't medical doctors (Phil, Ock, Robotnik, Lector, Honeydew) or at the very least, aren't folks you'd want around for your heart attack.

Dr Strange being a professional surgeon and barely making it past the neutral mark on the qualification axis seems, well, a bit strange

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

I agree he should be a little farther right, but his origin story is all about how his injury specifically prevented him from doing surgery anymore. Plus some iterations of him with the time stone might not have thought about medicine in hundreds of years. His magic also seems to not be healing focused. So I kinda get why he is under qualified comparatively

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

I'd put Strange ahead of McCoy. What is McCoy going to do without his Tricorder? He'd rant,

"They used to hand-cut and sew people like garments. Needles and sutures."

Dr. Zoidberg also has mail order degrees in murderology and murderonomy
